Harmony Day 2017

Our diversity makes Australia a great place to live. The students reflected on this by participating in Harmony Day which is a celebration of cultural diversity. The message of Harmony Day is ‘Everyone Belongs'. In our morning assembly Year 6 students spoke about what belonging means to them and why it's important to respect and appreciate people's differences.

The students definitely brightened the day by looking like a colourful rainbow in their special harmony colours. To celebrate Harmony Day students spent time with a student in another class to discuss their similarities and differences. They also created a paper cut out of themselves which was displayed on the grassed area between the library and the school office block.

Students donated a gold coin, raising over $500 which will be used to support our sponsor child Gedete who lives in Ethiopia (23/3/2017)
